Prince Charles in the news

I had posted before about how Queen Elizabeth is handing over the reigns to Prince Charles. Here and here. Here is a perfect example of why this is a bad idea -- from the BEEB:
Prince rebukes 'headless chicken' climate change deniers
Prince Charles has dismissed climate change "deniers" as the "headless chicken brigade".

Campaigners who share his long-held green stance faced a "barrage of sheer intimidation" from the powerful anti-climate change lobby, the prince said.

He made the remarks at an awards ceremony at Buckingham Palace on Thursday evening.

The heir to the throne has previously called on politicians to face down "sceptics and... corporate lobbyists".

Presenting Gamal Albinsaid with the Prince of Wales Young Sustainability Entrepreneur Prize, Charles said it was "baffling" that people's "blind trust in science and technology" did not extent to climate science.

"All of a sudden, and with a barrage of sheer intimidation, we are told by powerful groups of deniers that the scientists are wrong and we must abandon all our faith in so much overwhelming scientific evidence."
The Prince would not recognize scientific evidence if it rose up and bit his head off... Posted by DaveH at January 31, 2014 10:07 AM
